Mixing the Decades: This is the Vintage Style

The vintage style thrives on the charm of old furniture and interiors with an antique finish. Signs of wear and tear tell the story of the piece of furniture and give the room individuality. Classic colors such as dark green and brown are characteristic, but also bright colors for the 70s style. Items found at flea markets and in grandma’s attic are also being used again. Embrace the spirit of various eras by mixing and matching pieces from different decades, creating a uniquely personal and nostalgic atmosphere.

Furnishing a Vintage Bedroom: Our Ideas

You won’t find clean designs or anything new in a vintage bedroom. Vintage furniture shows its past life. Furniture made of natural materials such as wood shows signs of wear and tear and imperfections, like in shabby chic. Warm colors meet playful patterns in decorations and textiles. This is what gives vintage furnishings their incomparable charm and ensures comfort.

Essential Vintage Furniture

1. Beds: A gold-colored canopy bed with dark velvet curtains gives an aristocratic feel. Alternatively, a king-size bed with a curved headboard or buttoning also impresses with its classic detail.
2. Dressers: Essential for storage, dressers with an elegant herringbone look or a country house style replace wardrobes and add character.
3. Bedside Tables: Mix different pieces for an authentic look. A gold-colored metal table or a rustic wooden table with curved feet both fit beautifully.
4. Wing Chair: Place a classic wing chair next to the bed for storing clothes and creating a cozy atmosphere.

Typical Colors and Materials for Vintage Bedroom

The era determines the choice of color. The beginning of the last century was characterized by muted, classic colors, while in the 70s, bright colors dominated. The traditional colors of the French vintage style include red, gold, and petrol. The nostalgic, romantic shabby chic, on the other hand, is characterized by matte colors and pastel tones. These include shades such as old pink, delicate purple, and lime green, which can be picked up by hydrangeas, peonies, and dried flowers. The pop retro home of the 70s is more colorful: mustard yellow and rust red meet other strong colors.

Materials

1. Wood: Whitewashed or naturally worn, wood is a staple in vintage bedrooms.
2. Leather: Greasy and worn leather adds an antique touch.
3. Fabrics: High-quality fabrics like silk and velvet bring elegance and class to the room.

Patterns and Textures

No shabby chic bedroom is complete without flower and plant patterns. These adorn not only the porcelain bowl but also the pillowcases and bed covers. Do you love floral patterns? Then you’ll love floral wallpaper! In delicate rose tones, the floral decoration looks feminine and romantic. In strong colors, it resembles a still life – and like a fine painting. From the 1960s onwards, graphic patterns came into play: as patterned wallpaper or on home textiles such as pillows and blankets.

Quick Tips for a Vintage Bedroom

1. Floral Pattern: The print for romantics. It decorates the bedspread, decorative pillows, and bed linen. Or it picks up the colors of the fresh bouquet of flowers.
2. Metal Bed: Metal is not only used in modern interiors. With playful wrought iron elements, the bed matches the equally playful bed linen. Black metal frames look authentic, painted white, airy, and more feminine.
3. Chandelier: A light source that is reminiscent of the pompous ballroom of a castle. The chandelier with a golden canopy is glamorous. A model with shimmering glass elements looks like it came straight out of a Great Gatsby party.
4. Dressing Table with Mirror: In the past, the dressing table was an integral part of a bedroom. Women did their grooming routine in the bedroom rather than the bathroom. Beautiful: A dressing table with an antique finish and decorations.

Decoration in the Vintage Bedroom

The vintage-style bedroom decoration also looks as if it came from your grandparents’ attic or a flea market – that may even be true. The silver-colored candlestick looks as if you rescued it from your grandma’s dresser and freshly polished it. The same can be assumed with other silver decorations: picture frames, decorative objects, and mirrors. Do you prefer gold? A fluted glass vase with a gold-colored neck is reminiscent of the glamorous 1920s – with flowers it makes a nice color accent.

The eye-catcher next door is a gold-colored picture frame with intentional signs of wear. Frame an old family photo in black and white: this sight is like a journey back in time. The 70s world of this interior design style is less pompous, but all the more colorful. Bright colors from yellow to red appear in geometric patterns and are balanced out by natural tones.

Bringing It All Together: Your Vintage Bedroom Design

The Luxurious Vintage Bedroom

Have we convinced you? With the vintage bedroom, you demonstrate a sense of style and a melancholic streak. For the luxurious bedroom look, choose a white king-size bed with an antique finish and a white, ornate bedside table. Bed linen with a delicate floral pattern is cute, or elegant satin. A baroque carpet lies at the feet of the bed and ensures coziness. The dressing table is a must: it has to be white and decorated. On it are rows of valuable crystal vessels, gold storage boxes, and elegant jewelry boxes with decorative cords.

The 60s and 70s Vintage Bedroom

In the 60s and 70s bedroom, patterned wallpaper adorns the walls. Green, orange, and blue dominate the picture on the pillows and bed linen, and a leather armchair stands in the corner. Incorporate bold geometric patterns, a hallmark of the era, through wallpaper and textiles. Mid-century modern furniture pieces can add to the retro vibe, providing both style and functionality.
